Nuclear effective field theory: status and perspectives

HW Hammer, S König, U Van Kolck - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2020 - APS
The nuclear-physics landscape has been redesigned as a sequence of effective field
theories (EFTs) connected to the standard model through symmetries and lattice simulations …

Effective field theory description of halo nuclei

HW Hammer, C Ji, DR Phillips - Journal of Physics G: Nuclear …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
Nuclear halos emerge as new degrees of freedom near the neutron and proton driplines.
They consist of a core and one or a few nucleons which spend most of their time in the …

[HTML][HTML] Missed prediction of the neutron halo in 37Mg

KY Zhang, SQ Yang, JL An, SS Zhang… - Physics Letters B, 2023 - Elsevier
Halo phenomena have long been an important frontier in both experimental and theoretical

Collinear laser spectroscopy of highly charged ions produced with an electron-beam ion source

P Imgram, K König, B Maaß, P Müller, W Nörtershäuser - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
Collinear laser spectroscopy has been performed on He-like C 4+ ions extracted from an
electron-beam ion source (EBIS). In order to determine the transition frequency with the …

Pion-less effective field theory for atomic nuclei and lattice nuclei

A Bansal, S Binder, A Ekström, G Hagen, GR Jansen… - Physical Review C, 2018 - APS
We compute the medium-mass nuclei O 16 and Ca 40 using pion-less effective field theory
(EFT) at next-to-leading order (NLO). The low-energy coefficients of the EFT Hamiltonian are …

Asymptotic normalization coefficients in nuclear reactions and nuclear astrophysics

AM Mukhamedzhanov, LD Blokhintsev - The European Physical Journal A, 2022 - Springer
The asymptotic normalization coefficient (ANC) is a fundamental nuclear characteristic of
bound states and resonances. The ANC plays an important role in low-energy elastic …

Halo effective field theory constrains the solar 7Be+ p→ 8B+ γ rate

X Zhang, KM Nollett, DR Phillips - Physics Letters B, 2015 - Elsevier
We report an improved low-energy extrapolation of the cross section for the process Be 7 (p,
γ) B 8, which determines the 8 B neutrino flux from the Sun. Our extrapolant is derived from …

S-factor and scattering-parameter extractions from

X Zhang, KM Nollett, DR Phillips - Journal of Physics G: Nuclear …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Previous studies of the reaction ${}^{3}\mathrm {He}+{}^{4}\mathrm {He}\to {}^{7}\mathrm

Effective field theory for nuclear vibrations with quantified uncertainties

EA Coello Perez, T Papenbrock - Physical Review C, 2015 - APS
We develop an effective field theory (EFT) for nuclear vibrations. The key ingredients—
quadrupole degrees of freedom, rotational invariance, and a breakdown scale around the …
